I have a domain (call it mydomain.com) with a fixed IP address which I want to create a subdomain under (downloads.mydomain.com) which points to an open port (not port 80, but some other random port) on my local PC. Although I have a dynamic IP address on my local PC, it's pretty much fixed...

Looks like Jimbo tripped over the T3 cable again -- he really should look where he's going.

I think they'd first need to get enough liquidity so an order for more than 2 contracts doesn't get 2-3 tick slippage....

Has anyone traded these? If so how are the spreads and the volume? And can anyone confirm these are available for side-by-side with the pits/thievery dens? SSB

Is it normal to place a stop market order, have your stop price hit, and yet the order doesn't fill? That's what happened to me today, and I'm finding it a little unusual.....but then again who knows with those pit traders.....

Just as I've heard about people complaining when their money manager made too much money for them (their complaint was that they now had to pay taxes on their profits) I bet this will bring some IB critics out of the woodwork to complain about how they're not getting round number fills and they...

Can you confirm that normal commissions apply? I can't see why they wouldn't.....

Can you explain this again (use small words so I can follow it please :D)? Why are you being charged a higher commission for a penny option trade? SSB

Can I still get a worse price if I want, then post nasty things about IB when I do? Just asking so some of the IB bashers won't have to. I'm sure there will be some issues with this (mostly caused by "user error") but I think this is AWESOME. Yet another way IB is making things better (I...

No, I doubt it, since they said they will submit the order to an exchange at a rounded down or up price. See their examples on their website of how it will work. Still, I wonder how it would show the exchange if the trade is filled if it fills internally at IB -- I guess they're the...

I normally shut down my trading PC every night (and over the weekend) as it's only used for trading during market hours. This morning one of the two hard drives failed (they were set up in RAID 1 configuration) and it was able to boot from the other drive and run all day. A replacement...

Murray, How can you not offer a demo? I don't want to fork over $500 to find out if I like it. Even a crippled version would be fine...

Bart, I'll send you to heaven before I send you to hell......

Jack I don't think your example correct unless it's been changed very recently (since last month). The numbers are correct, but the difference between the actual commissions and $10 will be deducted from the sub-accounts, not the master advisor account. I have two data feeds, one under the...

And you're a congressional page stuck in the back seat with Mark Foley :eek:

Market data subscription fees are paid out of the master account. For example if you subscribe to DTB market data for the DAX futures that amount will be deducted from the master account. However, if you have a sub account which doesn't meet the $30 minimum for commissions, the $10 fee...

I'm trading cotton as part of a futures diversification strategy (where I try to lose money in as many different markets as possible :p). I guess I'll just eat the slippage, not much I can do....

Aside from "don't let those bastards in the pit rob you blind" does anyone have any suggestions for trading Cotton #2 in the NYBOT pits? I made my first trade today, a sell stop market at 4849 that was filled at 4820. I know stop markets are literally handing your wallet to the scum in the...

First, did you try a search on this forum? Try opentick (google them)

I'm not comfortable holding 5 ES contracts overnight -- if I'm going to be holding futures longs overnight I always buy some far out of the money puts as insurance. :cool: My post was not intended to say that you cannot sell options and be profitable provided you properly manage risk. It...
